Hi Sandro. Long time listener first time caller. It's not just that you are a vastly talented detailer that has people such as myself watching and waiting for each new video. It is the fact that you so eloquently convey what you are thinking at the time in such a manner as to convince us all to pay attention and try harder when working on our own cars. It is also the fact that you can so obviously see the countless hours that must go into video and sound editing, hours that no doubt you are spending in your own time and you are not spending with family and friends. True passion my friend, and I am sure that other besides myself see and respect this in you. From the heart thank you. You have nudged this 50+ year old into putting more care into my own detailing. I have gone from thinking a wash and wax was looking after my paint a few years ago, to completing my first ceramic coating a week ago after a painstaking attention to detail preparation. Once again, thank you for leading me on this journey, it is deeply appreciated.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks @Maxchickens I appreciate you taking the time to leave your first comment - a very nice and encouraging one at that - and it’s also really nice to hear the videos have had a positive impact on your evolving detailing practices and results. Thanks so much!

[@ragereset2795]

Same here! I found Sandro a few years ago and have detailed my cars to near-showroom thanks to his amazing videos. It’s become almost like meditation.. well, as close as someone like me can get anyway. My Dad maintains his and my mum’s cars, and she recently gave me her 2002 WRX. Always garaged, vacuumed and hand washed.. nothing else. I did a full paint restoration and apart from the odd annoying paint chip, she looks like she fell out of a time machine. I was able to do this not just because Sandro showed me how, but because he explained why as well. Anyone can rub a product on something, but only Sandro explains prep, tests resistance & longevity, rates everything from cheap stuff to high end, the list goes on. Once you find this channel, there’s really no need to bother with others. I can’t even think of a subject he hasn’t already/repeatedly covered in detail. 🏆

[@VanAllenWorx]

You are a true master of your craft. And extremely humble. Enjoy your coffee sir.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks so much mate, really appreciate it!

[@XxdjforrestxX]

Have you ever polished an interior?

[@cedricgtrable]

God bless you for that work on a Skyline GTR34

[@valkyrie_voodoo]

i’ve always stressed dusting before wet cleaning stage to other detailers. not only the cleaning factor and the diminishing of possible aggression the aggregate can have on the panels, but it makes the wet cleaning stage a lot easier and produces a much better result in my opinion. It makes it easier as trying to wet clean around loose dirt and debris just flings it everywhere and i find myself putting more effort into trying to contain the debris in my cloth then banging my rag outside to get it out of my cloth instead of simply wiping around the things i’m really wanting to focus on Furthermore, i’ve found that once dust that’s settled on the dash/other horizontal surfaces mainly gets wet, it’s very hard to remove, and will eventually end up remaining on the dash/other.

[@4agePower]

#1 Sandro... Inside + 303 is the best!

[@snail415]

Sandro, Golden episode once again. Absolutely agree on the recommendation to vacuum pet hair again before calling it done. Such an annoying part of detailing to deal-with, and even more so when you know it’ll return to hair-fest the next day… For carpets and mats, I enjoy using a 5” diameter drill brush extension. I treat the surface with a product from my hometown (Aero Cosmetics interior cleaner) which chemically opens the fibers up. The drill brush after lifts everything out, and then I vacuum. It’s relatively cheap and effective. Just make sure to turn the torque down on the drill. Too much speed can destroy anything in short order, and then you have an entirely different task ahead of you…

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

He assured me the dog has taken its last trip in the car lol Great addition tips with the cleaner and drill brush and good advise in not going too hard with - it’s about finding that balance. Thanks mate.

[@DavidC1]

Great video! Amazing that stain disappeared who would have thought….😊

[@1b0b]

Just when you think his series cant get any better then Sandro pulls it out the BAG again I am very much looking foward to seening the outcome of the skyline Air is always your friend as it helps get rid of all the lose dirt before you hoover I always hoover as much as i can The cleaner you get the carpet before extracting the easier it will be to clean I have used most of your steps except for steam and tornador Sandro you are so right as always its not about equipment its all about knowledge and hard work LOTS of elbow grease Keep them coming IN sandro we trust

[@christopherkovacic6873]

Awesome video Sandro, some good tips for sure. Keep up the great work!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate

[@evan_cloud9]

I personally rip right through the vacuuming process with unbelievable results in very little time using the Tornador Velocity Vac tool. There is nothing worse than seeing dirt particles reappear after you've already extracted and thought you were done. This tool gives me peace of mind I've removed as much of the dry soil as possible before adding water to the equation. It also does awesome with pet hair removal!

[@markyrizzo2283]

The 🐐 of auto detailing

[@JamesM92]

Nice to see your not using a Drill brush. I hate those things no control whatsoever. Brilliant video love your content.

[@jeffreyrobert9460]

Magnificent job

[@kerrymillikin7242]

Great early start to my Saturday...on a Friday night. Thanks again, Sandro. Looks terrific. You mentioned a video on the Tornador vac. I need to check that out. Thinking about buying that...would be my third Tornador tool...when does it end, man? Take it easy.

[@michaelloftus3576]

Another brilliant video from start to finish. That interior hasn't look that good since new. I'm eager to see what you did to revive that paintwork. Cheers, and enjoy your weekend.

[@sergeyrudnitskiy7579]

Hey Sandro, I need to add some humour to all our honest and thankful comments: you forgot to mention - Ikea bag which you have shown is an essential part of the interior detailing kit)))))))))) As you know I am working with my own cars only and thanks God they are far away from this condition, but I have done some friend cars and well, well, well - I had the same issue with collecting all the stuff to a bag to deliver back to the owner))) I didn't know how great CarPro's inside clener and CarPro's interior scrub are before I have used them for my friends cars - now they are must have for me even for my own cars. Regarding the GTR - great car Sandro, I am sure it came out fantastically nice looking and looking much younger from it's age. Video - this is simply great, I love how you are doing this and I am admire of your skills filming an interior (in this particular video). Not everyhody got how difficult it is to have correct angle, view, light and work there as well. Really great outcome Sandro and what I see you are going further up in your quality. Thanks for sharing Sandro!!! Cheers from snowy Sweden.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The IKEA bag came with the car lol, but my wife also has a few of them - maybe they’ll be the next big thing in interior rubbish collection. I’m really glad you enjoyed this video and filming interiors a without blocking the camera is definitely a bit of a process! Take care my friend.

[@LightSpiD]

It looks so good 😍

[@jezza159]

Hi Sandro. Watched it now, Brilliant Sandro. I'll be investing in some of those tools. I have a few already. Thank you Sandro keep safe always. Jeremy Downunder

[@djmandrick]

Beautiful job. I've done a couple of interiors now and on cars of people I know, some of which haven't seen a vacuum cleaner in years. My Bissell hotspot cleaner was the best purchase but what i've been missing is an interior scrubbing pad thing that looks like it would take out so much of the work getting into the grain of the plastics that a soft brush just can't do on the more ingrained grease etc. As a hobby I'm not on the clock but that is what would kill me. I tried it last time and to get all i wanted in two days even with 8 hour days I didn't get there (no time to add a glaze ot the exterior so had to substitute, However I don't stop until I'm happy with my results but my word did those interiors take a long time. And I've also noticed I'm way too stingy with the old 303 which is why i've had to go over it twice - I also didn't leave it to all soak in, just 20 seconds and wipe over. Nuggets of gold as usual and I learned loads. Thanks as always for these uplopads and the time taken to share your wealth of knowledge and experience, your edits remain the quality of your detailing.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Really appreciate it mate and the biggest challenge is always time! You can learn a few tricks and invest in a few new tools and products but time and labour are something you’ll never defeat 🙂

[@crztrn1]

hand cleaner with out grit does wonders

[@SummerHunt-zl2kk]

Hi Sandro you really inspire me

[@iwayned]

Interiors are more manual labour and intricate details. Not my favourite. But good to see different methods you use.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Totally agree, the biggest issue I face with interior is generally clients don’t want to spend as much on interior work compared to exterior work that in many cases is just as labour intensive.

[@ilikechickensausages2075]

I ❤ your hand work Sandro on the hand brake! 😉

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

😅

[@DangerousGaming1]

Would love a video educating us on steam cleaning ! Benefits do and don’ts as well as how toos ! The sandro way.❤

[@dimmacommunication]

Would have loved an r-32 myself 😃

[@baratrion]

Hi Sandro, Fantastic walkthrough again, thanks for sharing. Maybe you mentioned in one of your previous videos, but a curious question: why don't you remove the seats when cleaning the interior?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and I just find that with my brushes, vac, steamer and blower there’s little I can’t achieve that I would otherwise removing them. Electric seats on new cars are also getting insanely heavy and trickier to remove, just be careful you don’t scrap and damage the surrounding trims or door jambs or hurt your back in the process and make sure you know the torque specs to safely secure them back in - you don’t want to be responsible for something going wrong during an unfortunate car accident.

[@snail415]

First? 😂 Lovin’ it Sandro!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

So close! 🥈thanks mate!

[@10Tenths]

Nice one, Sandro. Could you have used NV Guardian for dressing the interior as well?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and absolutely, Guardian would have be a great upgrade option.

[@paulborg9609]

Well done again Sandro. Just out of curiosity how many scrubbing pads and towels did you use? lol

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks mate and I had 3 pads and 3 InnerScrub gloves, though I rinsed and reused them a few times over - probably a good dozen microfibre towels or so.

[@ynohtna1126]

Awesome job! What extractor to you use?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and the extractor is an older BAR hotwave, but I couldn’t find a link to it.

[@perfectshave85]

Very cool, can I asm what Steamer you use? Also, is there a safe way to clean headliner?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and the steamer is listed in the description box, as far as headliners go sone are more delicate than others so it’s a case by case scenario, but steamers can work well or just some light brush cleaning and towel wiping with an interior cleaner.

[@jcvdvandd]

Hi Sandro. Really enjoy your content. What size is your compressor? The Tornador is a thirsty beast, so want to ensure I get an adequate compressor. My 50L capacity compressor isn’t particularly good at catering for this.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and LPM (litres of air per minute) is the most important spec for running most air tools. I currently use and air compressor at the shop with a 150L tank and about 500LPM. For the Tornador alone, you don’t necessarily need that much but half of that - about 250LMP would be ideal as a starting point.

[@jcvdvandd]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks for that. That’s really helpful. I’ll look out for the points you mentioned when I buy a new compressor.

[@Zoranurai13]

Worst part is polishing gloss black trim around all kinds of objects. Polish just gets everywhere and its a pain without an air compressor or a mini polisher

[@seventysschev]

Wow. You could just about eat out of that interior. Thanks for the tips on resurfacing stains! Do you do anything to make sure the car’s battery stays charged during your interior process? I’m always a bit worried about the battery draining.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

My pleasure mate and yes, I use a trickle charger on most cars these days

[@seventysschev]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Gotcha. Thanks again Sandro!

[@raypalmer7733]

Sandro, you efforts here has more likely added quite a bit its value as the prospective buyer will likely see a car which has retained much of its lure.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and I really hope the owner gets a great offer on it!

[@bix194]

Great content! How much time does it take to detail a car interior like this?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and I can’t specifically remember how long this one took but I’d guess a good 5-6hrs

[@Uknownkozzy]

Bro which is better than sonax cut max last cut plus or koch

[@xFlowRS]

Sandro, can steam cleaner burn velour-like material inside Audi gloveboxes for example? I bought a car with some nasty stains from candies etc., not sure if it's safe to remove them with steam cleaner on such materials...

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

As long as you keep the nozzle an inch or two from the surface it’s completely safe. You can also lay a cloth over the velour and blast over it if you feel the material is already compromised.

[@xFlowRS]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing Thank you for the info! I think I may have damaged it a tiny bit, or it was already compromised from the gunk... I'm talking two tiny spots, rest of the glovebox came out as factory.

[@ceasar5871]

Whats your charge structure like or simply how much do you charge as a professional based on the condition of the interior?

[@SummerHunt-zl2kk]

Probably a lot

[@Silence07617]

Hi Sandro, can you tell me where you get the white extractor head from?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It came with the BAR hot wave extractor, unfortunately I’m not sure if/where they are sold currently.

[@jessemorrison8661]

Do you use g101?

[@yousepp15]

What do you think is better, 303 aerospace protectant or carpro perl?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

There’s exceptions, I really like Perl on a lot of 70s 80s & early 90s cars, it seems to match and enhance those materials better, but I prefer 303 on most modern interiors and every now and then Perl just seems to dislike certain vinyls and plastics not finishing evenly, while I don’t seem to every have that use with 303. But overall I really like them both - Perl is also a favourite tyre dressing.

[@haroldflugleman4364]

Can you post a link to the brush you used for the pet hair around 8:28

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

It’s the same pat hair brush used throughout the video and it is listed in the description box.

[@tainguyen7455]

Hi Sandro, do you use 303 on all leathers?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes, on all full grain leathers

[@pierreoj]

What is your preferred Carpro Inside dilution ?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

On badly stained and neglected interiors I’ll use it straight, but otherwise 1:1 is what I use it at for most deep cleaning processes. For more generally maintenance cleans I tend to use it 1:3

[@moist_potato2837]
